Radar System Design Engineer

Description

Position Summary

The Radar System Design Engineer will support advanced space-based ISR and ground radar mission systems by performing radar architecture definition, system-level design, and radar signal processing development. This role aligns with the requirement for Radar system design or radar signal processing expertise in Chantilly-based roles.

Key Responsibilities

· Lead radar system architecture development, deriving functional and performance requirements from mission needs.

· Develop radar waveform designs, radar modes, and associated signal processing algorithms.

· Perform modeling, simulation, and analysis of radar system performance under operational conditions.

· Support hardware-in-the-loop testing, sensor integration, and validation of radar subsystems.

· Develop technical documentation, design artifacts, performance briefs, trade studies, and algorithm specifications.

· Collaborate with systems, integration, MBSE, payload, and ISR engineering teams to ensure interface compatibility and mission alignment.

· Support customer technical interchange meetings, milestone reviews, and engineering working groups.
